Playing with Paint

Manicurists backstage at Nicole Miller use Butter London nail lacquers to recreate a marbled nail meets paint splatter. Have fun with your nail art and use contrasting paints for nails that make an impact.

Violaceous Lacquer

The perfect compliment to brown skin is a regal-hued mani. Copy the models from Monique L'huiller Fall '15 show and think:deep purple, violets and plums. Apply two coats to oval-shaped nails and finish with a high shine top coat.

Make 'Em Matte

If black nail polish is a little too goth for you, lighten the mood with a dark matte polish with a subtle shimmer. It's polished and a little mysterious. For an added touch of fun, add a dark strip from the side of each nail.

Paint The Rainbow

Can't decide on one color? Don't sweat it— choose them all! Though, you may need to ask your manicurist to do this for you. Unless you just have all of the skills; if that's the case, you go, girl!

Cinema buffs, why not have your manicurist recreat a reel on your nails? Opt for black and white or go neon for a cool twist.
